I think the bigger shift isn’t just that AI agents will kill per-seat pricing it’s that seats may stop being the best proxy for value. If software is doing the work instead of simply helping employees do the work, pricing based on users starts to feel disconnected from the outcome. Usage, tasks completed, revenue generated, tickets resolved, or workflows automated could become much more meaningful pricing metrics. The interesting part will be finding models that align SaaS revenue with customer value without making costs unpredictable. That’s where hybrid pricing could become especially important.
